Tire meets curb at about 15 MPH..

That's basically the jist of it... (turning left at an intersection in an unfamiliar area at night) A few seconds later my low pressure light comes on and I'm in a neighborhood putting on a spare. I plan on taking the tire to the shop to have it looked at, but until then does anyone know what I might be looking at as far as possible damages to the car/tire/wheel/suspension/repairs??

Thanks, Mark.

BTW, these are brand new tires and I was already planning on taking it in this week for a 4 wheel alignment... but now I'm wondering if I need to goto the dealership and have an inspection as well..

Well you might need a new tire. Was it on the front or rear?

Can't you just look at the tire and see where the damage is? Should be fairly obvious. Since it didn't go down immediately, it's more than likely you didn't just pop the bead. You probably slashed the sidewall or put a cut into it which means you'll need a new tire.

I'd put a new tire wheel on it and see how it drives, but if it will make you feel better an inspection isn't a bad idea to see if you damaged anything not easily seen

It was just my driver side front. It was late at night and I haven't really looked at the tire/wheel yet, will get to that hopefully today.

Check your wheel bearing, outer and inner tie rod, and make sure nothing else down there is bent. I don't think you will see any problems, but once you replace the tire you can better diagnose if you have any vibrations. They should be able to get it back into alignment.
